Fitness and Nutrition

A new year is here and as usual, gyms and fitness centres countrywide are filled with individuals (including myself) looking to get a tighter physique as part of their 2020 New Year resolution.

There is no denying that improving your health can take a bit of effort, organisation, planning and dedication.

Some of you have decided that sometime in 2020 you will start taking control of your health and fitness by eating right and incorporating exercises into your regimen. 

This time of the year always gets me excited. I start thinking about ways that I can improve myself moving into the new year in order to totally dominate it.

Christmas Day is in three days and the New Year is just around the corner.

For some of you, the enthusiasm and excitement of starting and staying on a fitness course that you began this year, may have gone way off track.

The rainy season is here once again in the 592. And with it has come the common cold and the flu.

Protein is a macronutrient (nutrients we need in large quantities) that is chemically composed of amino acids.

Many people believe that in order to get great results at the gym, you have to be in the gym all day, every day.

In last week’s column, new gym apparel and some of its perceived benefits were discussed.

More often than not, you’ll see a person at the gym wearing a nice workout shirt, or you’ll go for a jog and see runners wearing fancy running shoes, shades and running attire.

Exercising is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Your weight will be kept under control, you will have more energy, your mood will be lighter, and you will sleep better.

Using the same weights or machines can become monotonous and boring.

Good morning! Have you ever noticed that when you sleep well and wake up feeling rested, your day seems to go more smoothly?

Sometimes that scale will just not budge, despite what you’d rightfully consider a herculean effort.In

I received quite a bit of feedback from last week’s column, so I have decided to do a part 2 of sorts.

I get told a lot that my writing is hugely based on weight loss.

Most people are aware of the physical benefits of exercise and are also possibly aware of the health-related benefits that reduce the risk of chronic conditions.

Life is so busy in this day and age and it can often feel difficult to get to the gym, prepare your meals, go to work, spend quality time with friends and family and somehow schedule in downtime all before it’s time to get to bed (and preferably at a reasonable hour).

Dubbed the ‘Biggest Party in Sport’, the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) is back and started on Thursday in Guyana.
